1994 | Land Rover 170 V Cabriolet B

The Range Rover's origins can be seen as far back as the early 1950s when Maurice Wilks, Land Rover's principal design engineer, mooted the idea of a 'Road Rover'. Initially conceived as a bigger and better Land Rover, it never progressed beyond the stage of test models and the project was cancelled in 1958. The idea of a luxury Land Rover was taken up again in the mid-1960s by Spencer King and Gordon Bashford, chief engineer and chief designer respectively of New Vehicle Projects, who set out to combine the practicality and cross-country ability of Land Rover engineering with the performance and comfort of Rover saloons. The Range Rover was successfully launched in June 1970. At that time, management felt confident in describing its versatility as 'four cars in one - a luxury car, a performance car, an estate car and a cross-country car'. It is a matter of history that Range Rover was received with tremendous enthusiasm and has subsequently fulfilled all these and many other roles with great success.

This 'soft dash' Vogue SE model is finished in Roman Bronze metallic with contrasting Biscuit hide and benefits from a walnut wood veneer trim, electric seats, electric sunroof, twin air bags, three spoke alloys and cruise control. This stylish Range Rover is offered with an original book pack and a well stamped original service book with the most recent service being undertaken by Kingsley Classic Range Rover specialist. The current celebrity owner purchased the car in 2015 and has used the car regularly telling us that it has been a joy to drive. On a recent inspection the car started on request and the air suspension responded immediately. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document and MoT test certificate valid until October 2025, this stylish 4x4 is now ready for a new owner to enjoy it. Consigned by Dominic Lake.
